Jared Allen’s Sports Bar and Grill Closes
Jared Allen obviously wasn’t going to keep a restaurant with his name open in Kansas City, but after only two weeks his co-owner has decided to close the place.
Jared Allen’s Sports Arena & Grill closed Wednesday, less than two weeks after working partner Chuck Tabor said he would stick with it and try to make it work.
Tabor and Allen could not be reached for comment Thursday. However, workers were tying up loose ends at the operation.
“Business was down, and the name wasn’t helping us any,” said Jose Alvarez, an employee who was in charge on Thursday. “The bills were behind and stacking up, so they decided to close it.”
All of this made me think of one great band that made one great song….
Closing time - time for you to go out, go out into the
worldMinnesota cold.
Closing time - turn the lightsupout over everyboy and every girlChiefs fan.
Closing time - one last call for alcohol, so finish yourwhiskey or beerOdoul’s.
Closing time - you don’t have to go home but you can’t stay HERE!
Yes, I know I went there with Semisonic. The one-hit wonder with the tune bad D.J.s typically end the night with. Corny? Yes, but the one thing I want to make clear was that if you leave K.C., you leave the fans, too. Good luck with a new restaurant…

There was plenty of warning that I would never go to Jared’s bar if he left for Minnesota. This is exactly the kind of thing that happens you when lose my support.

May 16th, 2008 at 12:59 pmI think it was more than just a bar, it was an arena, restaurant, grill, dance club, club, gameroom, saloon, etc…..
May 16th, 2008 at 1:11 pmKind of a shame really. I never got a chance to go. I don’t live in KC anymore or I would have made it a point to at least check it out as soon as news broke that he’d been traded.
May 16th, 2008 at 1:24 pmFeel kind of bad for the employees…
May 16th, 2008 at 1:41 pmYeah it sucks for the employees for sure. They’re the ones who usually get hurt the most.
May 16th, 2008 at 1:49 pmAs a business owner I always hate to see businesses close. They should have sat down and had a real heart to heart with Jared about the likelihood of him staying in KC. Sounds like they did not.
They should have partnered with the follwong guys and had these slogans:
D-Bowe: “Try D-Bowes T-Bone!”
Brodie Croyle: “Try the Croyled Shrimp or Lobster”
Tony Gonzalez “Try the Gonzo Beans”
Herm Edwards “Try the Herb Edwards Chicken”
Devard Darling “Try the Jamaican Jerk”
Tyron Brakenridge “Try the Tryon Brackenribs”
You guys got any?

That’s all me and my pops could come up with… so far! And props to you Zach, the Sippio cup, classic! You could put little Chiefs logo’s on the cups and have the top part look sort of like a helmet, and call it the Sippio cup. Cha-ching. I’d have your people call Bobby’s people asap.
May 16th, 2008 at 5:09 pmThanks guys for all the compliments. It was the easiest one for me to come up with and you better bet your asses that an image is coming soon… LOL
Zach

I love Hali’s Tamales!
May 16th, 2008 at 5:27 pmOk…you guys need to find better ways to fill the hours before next seasons kick-off haha. All they needed to do was change the name to Dorsey’s…problem solved.
May 16th, 2008 at 6:39 pmI could see Dorsey’s being a nice steakhouse.
May 16th, 2008 at 11:36 pmGreat names for food. I wonder how long it will be before he opens one in Minnesota?
May 17th, 2008 at 9:08 amI think my eyes rolled out of my head. (j/k) Some of those were great!
I can see it now -
“Croyle’s 39 yard touchdown pass left the Raiders secondary sucking on a Sippio cup”.
Put a little Sippio cup in the header a the top of the page! Maybe between LJ and Bowe.
May 17th, 2008 at 6:33 pmSippio Cup and Tickle Me Delmo need to go in the header!
